MISSIONS UPDATE: TJ and Kathy Sipes, Awana Missionaries

Spring is one of my favorite seasons.  I enjoy the blooming flowers, butterflies, chirping birds, busy bees, and refreshing rain showers.  TJ and I feel so blessed by new donors who have joined our child evangelism and discipleship journey, along with our many steadfast ministry donors.

The most exciting news TJ and I can receive is to hear a child or teenager has come to know the Lord Jesus Christ in their Awana Club!  We know then that the child or teen is in the best place possible to be discipled by a loving, caring adult, alongside their caregivers, and, Lord willing, will live the rest of their days loving and serving the Lord.  You, our donors, make all this possible through your faithful giving.  Without you, clubs would not be established, leaders would not be trained, and children and teenagers would not come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
